Using VB6 PDW & Deploying with "WinZip Self Extractor", I need toinstall in a way that software Runs as Administrator for Vista.

Hi,

I'm using VB6 PDW and Deploying the installation files with "WinZip
Self Extractor".

I noticed that the "WinZip Self Extractor" has a wonderful feature of
starting and running the "setup.exe" of the installation in Vista as a
Administrator, if you wish to choose this option.

I really need my software to install and run as an administrator in my
clients' Vista machines otherwise some features will not work.

The question is: If I make sure the Setup.exe is ran as Administrator,
so the software installation process runs as administrator, does that
mean that the software will be installed as an administrator ?

If not, please give me some ideas of how do I achieve the need for my
installations to install the software I develop to run as an
administrator (I know I can instruct my clients to right click on the
software's short cut and select properties and select "Always Run As
administrator", but what is the automated way of doing this in
installation, to make it easy and automated?)

Thank you.
